eurovision note
May. 17th, 2009 10:24 ami: armenia for the win
ii: norton NOT AT ALL AS BAD AS WOGAN hurrah (in fact fine given i hate him; and given he was doing a total "wogan script")
iii: ukraine = is this the hardcore continuum i heard so much about? the whacky moscow camerawork was (i assume) putin-ordered sabotage
iv: utterly baffled by the unanimous runawayness of norway
v: brit song also did better than should have but it was a slow year really
vi: new voting system good for professional craft earnestness; will deliver pbs-ification of eurovision
vii: eurovision-as-carmodian-space news... i thought very little, except maybe continued rise of small, under-regarded nations (armenia, moldova) (were they even in any previous final? moldova is the smallest and poorest country in europe, i believe, and just returned an actual old-skool communism-for-communists party to govt by free and fair election)

Date: 2009-05-17 11:12 am (UTC)I voted for Denmark (the whole Ronan Keating impression was hilarious), Turkey (she was a comely lass), and Iceland (she was kinda like Taylor Swift). I didn't get the Norway song at all. I didn't mind the German entry either.
I would like to see the results based purely on phone votes, it must be possible to extrapolate this data?
